Tips and Guide for people making websites thinking adsense will earn them

Hi friends,

I have seen few people considering adsense alone as a real money maker as if its a office job and making websites . I know the trend worked in 2004 but now a days even visitors are used to google ads in every website...so seems everyone will signup for adsense account and make a website

To make this post useful, let us ask ourselves...

1.How hard must a person work to earn atleast 300 $ to 500 $ per month ... Its not easy at all ..

2. List the steps you took to earn money using adsense
what worked and what dint ..

3.Basic investment you did.. shifty:

4. The time you spend on your site and gather resource to make your site work better and reach many people

5. Provide few tips to help new webmasters understand how hard it is to earn money using adsense..

The reason i wanted to start this topic is that many people waste time and money thinking it will work and end up earning just few dollars ..

I am working pretty hard at it but I am at $10/day now in Adsense. I don't exactly know what the trick is. JUst don't try to trick people into clicking it. Think of the advertisers at least a little bit, and you should never click the ads just because you like what you have seen on a page. People are truly interested in the ads. Remember though, You have to think of who is immune to those ads, and completely blocks them out as you view a page just the same as you probably do being an adsense publisher! I have found some niches very simple to get clicks and others very hard. I have also found that if I am getting a huge number of clicks because I have put the ad in a location that users think it is content, That domain is quickly earning 90&#37; less per click, (Smartpricing??).

Just don't give up if you aren't having a lot of luck with Adsense. If you just cannot get the clicks, try affiliate links or selling adspace to people on your mail list. If you are very into earning with adsense, hire me on and I can let you know what you are doing wrong! lol.
